The space at G. W.'s command will only permit him to notice generally,
and most gratefully to acknowledge, the number, variety, and interest of
C. F. D.'s communications, and sincerely to thank him for the kind
manner in which they have been forwarded.

1. The existence of Hebrew relics among the Pottawatomie Indians
is extremely curious. That procured by Dr. Lykins is described as
consisting of
"Four small rolls or strips of parchment, closely packed in the
small compartments of a little box or locket, of about an inch
cubical content. On these parchments are written, in a style of
unsurpassed excellence, and far more beautiful than print,
portions of the Pentateuch, to be worn as frontlets, and
intended as stimulants to the memory and moral sense."
2. A notice of Professor Stuart's death has been recorded in G. W.'s
Literary and Scientific Obituary.
"He published at least twenty-four volumes, and in addition to
them many single sermons and newspaper essays, and contributed
more than two thousand octavo pages to American periodicals. His
commentaries are those on the Hebrews, Romans, Revelation,
Daniel, Ecclesiastes, and the Proverbs. He printed his first
Hebrew Grammar without points, and _set up about half the
paradigms of verbs with his own hands_.--This grammar went
through three editions, each one being more full than the
preceding."
